Kantar Worldpanel joins feeding Ireland's initiative

07/03/2014

Kantar Worldpanel in Ireland has taken part in a nationwide skills initiative, Feeding Ireland's Future, to give pre-employment training to young unemployed people. The initiative has taken place during Ireland’s Skills for Work week on the 3rd – 7th March.

Feeding Ireland's Future has been created by ECR Ireland, which promotes efficient consumer response between retail partners in Ireland, with the aim of uniting the Irish food and grocery industry in helping young people on their path to employment. Feeding Ireland’s Future will give more than 1,500 young people across Ireland insight into the vast range of career opportunities available in the food and grocery industry.

At Kantar Worldpanel in Ireland this week 18 young people experienced a range of pre-employment activities including skills workshops, advice on CVs, presentation and interview training.

The Kantar Worldpanel team also gave young people a ‘Day in the Life’ experience of key roles around the business from client service to technical operations. All participants in the Feeding Ireland's Future initiative completed their Kantar Worldpanel experience with knowledge of market research and the decisions that research intelligence enables.
